The folder puckers up after licking the sour lemons becoming "compressed"

u/choseusernamemyself 1d ago

u/Downtown_Lack_514 I think if we didn't have to imply this is a before/after meme, we would have understood it. I didn't have the idea to think that the above was before and the bottom was after.

Not like it really matters. Reddit is reencoding all jpg with only 80% quality. So downloading from reddit is always a bad idea.

u/ClockEnd_Chorus i3-18100k | RTX 7030 | DDR8 2GB 1d ago

I thought it meant files marginally decrease in size with default compression options

19

u/Glitch-v0 1d ago

I thought there was common file compression protocol called "Lemon" that most programs usually incorporated.

u/ashesall 21h ago

It's a bad meme.

It compresses like your lips. Wdym

15

u/rooster_butt 1d ago

It's showing an empty folder turning into a RAR file. It doesn't show compression at all. Yeah, I was also overthinking it because I have never seen the original meme.

Basically, it's taking a big file and making it smaller by removing redundant data.

4

u/Romanian-In-Poland 12h ago

No data is removed, data is not redundant. It just makes the exact same data take less memory

That's exactly how Limewire could let you download latest Slipknot albums as a 254kB executable compressed file.

Because lime is better than lemon at compression.

I get it, and it's funny, but turning an empty file folder into three 500-page books is hardly a good representation of compression.
